Patent EP-0726603-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FLOYD BRIAN H
IPC: H01L29/06
Filed: 1996-02-06
Abstract: A trenched MOSFET in its on-state conducts current through an accumulation region and through an inverted depletion barrier layer located along the trench sidewalls. Blocking is achieved by gate control depletion of the adjacent region and by the depletion barrier layer (having the appearance of "ears" in a cross sectional view and being of opposite doping type to the adjacent region) which extends laterally from the trench sidewalls into the drift region. This MOSFET has superior on-state specific resistance to that of prior art trenched MOSFETs and also has good performance in terms of on state resistance, while having superior blocking characteristics to those of prior art trenched MOSFETs. The improvement in the blocking characteristic is provided by the depletion barrier layer which is a semiconductor doped region. In the blocking state, the depletion barrier layer is fully or almost fully depleted to prevent parasitic bipolar conduction. The shape and extent of the depletion barrier layer may be varied and more than one depletion barrier layer may be present.

Abstract: An integral centre-mounted air-handling system includes a pair of blowers (211), an evaporator core (260), and a heater core (262) located within the centre of the vehicle such that the vehicle can be readily adapted for left-side or right-side steering mechanisms. The blowers (211), evaporator core (260), and heater core (262) are preferably incorporated within a single, one-piece housing (213) so as to reduce materials, manufacturing, and assembling costs. The dual blowers (211) provide completely independent two zone operational and temperature control for the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle, as well as operational redundancy and conservation of electrical power within electrically powered vehicles. The instrument panel duct assembly (218) is fabricated from a carbon composite material so as to also serve as a structural cross-beam within the vehicle thereby eliminating the need for separate structural cross-beam structure which also reduces materials, fabrication, and assembly costs for the vehicle, as well as the overall weight of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus aligns device components based on an analysis of an image of features of the components to be aligned. The image is analyzed for deviation in component alignment, and a signal, based on the deviation, is sent to a positioning apparatus to adjust the position of the components relative to each other. The image of the components is advantageously a top view which permits measuring deviations in alignment of features on the top surfaces of components. The components are advantageously bonded together after alignment, and the alignment accuracy of the bonded components is checked.

Abstract: A corrected digital response signal is generated from a corrupted transponder response signal by receiving the response signal an odd number of times, greater than one, and sampling each received response signal a predetermined number of times. Then, the sample values from each transponder response signal are compared to one another and a majority sample value is obtained. The majority sample value is the value ordained by the majority and therefore represents the corrected response signal value. Alternatively, if time does not permit reception of more than one transponder response signal, additional response signals may be generated from the originally received response signal by shifting the received response by a predetermined number of samples to the right and by shifting the received response by a predetermined number of samples to the left to generate second and third response signals. Then, as similarly described, the first second and third signals are compared sample by sample with the majority sample value yielding the corrected sample value. In this way, a corrected response signal is generated.

Abstract: The method involves subjecting the brightness values associated with the image points to a conformal imaging, so that at least those brightness values for image points lying on the edge of the image segment are formed on the edge of a target image segment of predefined shape. Interpolation is performed between the brightness values of the image points of the target image segment.

Abstract: A small-scale water treatment assembly for aquaria, fish ponds swimming pools or similar has a vessel (2) with an inlet (24) and an outlet (28). The vessel (2) is sub-divided into three or more main chambers (4, 6, 8, 32, 42) each of which has structures (12, 14, 16) forming the substrate for colonies of bacterial cultures. Each main chamber has a funnel-shaped collection chamber (18, 34, 44) with an inlet (24, 46) and an outlet (28) to the upper rim of the main chamber (4, 6, 8, 32, 42), inducing water to flow from the base to the top of the cleaning chamber. The inlet (24, 26) to the collection chamber (18, 34, 44) is so positioned that incoming water generates an upward-spiralling flow through the cone-shaped chamber (18, 34, 44). The incoming water flows first parallel to the side wall before turning in the conical section into an upward spiralling flow. The water inlet is positioned (24, 26) in a way that it reinforces the natural Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation. Each particle collection chamber (18, 34, 44) incorporates a drain tap (22). The incoming flow of water slows down, allowing the particles to precipitate for collection (18, 34, 44) ,while water rises through the bacterial colonies resident on the substrate structures (12, 14, 16).

outwardly winding rolls. At a time of initial development of the air bag, each outer surface of
the outwardly winding rolls is brought into contact with a wall surface of the housing space
opposing to the outer surface by a gas supplied from the inflator so that the development of
the outwardly winding rolls is temporally delayed.

Abstract: In a microcomputer internally comprising a circuit including a
CPU and operating in synchronism with an internal clock signal, and an
OSD controller operating in synchronism with the internal clock signal
and an external horizontal synchronous signal, an oscillation circuit is
coupled to an external oscillator, for generating the internal clock signal
used in common to the circuit and the OSD controller. An oscillation
control circuitry receives the horizontal synchronous signal for
generating a CPU stop request signal to the circuit before supply of each
horizontal synchronous signal, so that the circuit generates a CPU stop
signal after a stopping processing is completed. When the oscillation
control circuitry receives the CPU stop signal, the oscillation control
circuitry causes the oscillation circuit to stop generation of the internal
clock signal. Thereafter, in response to each horizontal synchronous
signal, the oscillation control circuitry causes the oscillation circuit to
restart the generation of the internal clock signal. As a result, the internal
clock signal is generated in synchronism with the horizontal synchronous
signal.

Abstract: A dictionary system has a vendor computer and a plurality of client computers that communicate through the Internet. Each client computer has a word processor program with a spelling checker that utilizes a local main dictionary provided by the vendor and a local customized dictionary containing words added by the user. The vendor computer contains a dictionary of approved words, a database of misspelled words, and a database of requested words. When a user adds a new word to the local customized dictionary, an Internet request is sent to the vendor computer to add the new word to the dictionary of approved words. The user is notified by an Internet message from the vendor computer if the requested word is misspelled. The database of requested words from all users is reviewed periodically and utilized to update the approved dictionary. The updated dictionary is periodically released to the users as an upgrade to the local main dictionary. Users are compensated for the words that they contribute to the approved dictionary.
